Rafinha, the star of the Brazilian soccer team, criticized his team's performance and the referee's judgment after losing 3-2 against Japan in a friendly match and being sent off in the 90th minute.
He said: "We are moving forward and coordinating more after the World Cup." In my opinion we played a good game and our performance in the second half was much better than the first half, but it is also difficult to play in front of a referee. This makes things very complicated.
According to him, "I will not run away from my responsibility. We still have many things to improve and we will work on them, but we cannot ignore what happened today from the referee."
During this match, Carlo Ancelotti, the head coach of Brazil, protested strongly against the referee's decision, which eventually led to his removal from the field.
This Fifadi window also ended with receiving a red card for Rafinha and this player will return to Barcelona.
